Menu bars allow nested menus (aka sub-menus) meaning you can put more menu items if it doesn't fit in your menu bar. However, navigation bars can't do those, and they're used for things that aren't related to one another. There are also clear differences in placements as well.
The <header> tag is generally used for heading purposes, you may see the use of these header tags <h1> to <h6>. The <nav> tag is used inside the <header> tag . This may happen if <nav> is very small and if the content of <nav> tag is used to identify the different web content.
There is no difference between and . DIV is original HTML tag while NAV was introduced as part of new HTML5 semantic tags. They behave exactly the same.
The <nav> HTML element represents a section of a page whose purpose is to provide navigation links, either within the current document or to other documents. Common examples of navigation sections are menus, tables of contents, and indexes.

<menu label="File"> <button type="button" onclick="fnew()">New...</button> <button type="button" onclick="fopen()">Open...</button> <button type="button" onclick="fsave()">Save</button> <button type="button" onclick="fsaveas()">Save as...</button> </menu>
